[DRBD-user] Before swap to DRBD

Hi.

Yes. Definitely.

I'm not familiar with any use cases. DRBD does not make it a habit to
destroy your filesystems as far as I know.

If things really go awry, I can picture both your Primary and Secondary
dying. Never heard of anything like that actually occuring, though.

This will not be a problem. You can also scrap and replace your slave at
any time, new slaves will seemlessly sync themselves to your Primary.

Cheers,
